Restaurant Description
At Aruba Beach Cafe, good food, drinks, friends, and laughter are always the catch of the day. Whether you arrive from a stroll on the beach or from the valet, you will immediately feel the island influence. Nestled in the swaying palms of the beach at Lauderdale by the Sea, Aruba Cafe is a reminder of the Caribbean. Open 7 days a week, guests can be in the "Islands" at a moment's notice. A smiling bartender will greet you with imaginative tropical cocktails at the 2 friendly bars. The casual bar, where familiar faces greet one another on a first name basis, is a favorite with locals and tourists. With wines, beers, and frozen concoctions all served to the beat of island music, the partying has just begun. The open-air restaurant offers a panoramic view of the sand, surf, and fishing pier from every table. Paddle fans circulate balmy ocean breeze in the dining room, over candlelit wooden tables, creating a warm and intimate glow, while casual yet polished servers cater to guests' every need. Live entertainment provides the perfect setting for American, Floribbean, and Seafood specialties. Start off with Caribbean conch chowder, raw oysters, tuna Sashimi, award winning Bahamian conch fritters, Jamaican jerk wings, or any others from the award-winning menu. Aruba Beach Cafe features the biggest, juiciest burgers in town, as well as sandwiches, salads, and fish that is delivered fresh daily. Daily specials with island ingredients give guests an Epicurean tour of the Caribbean. Whether you choose a lobster salad sandwich on fresh baked Bimini Bread, Yucatan Seafood Quesadilla, New Orleans Trio of Blackened Fish, Scallops, and Shrimp, or American grain-fed Beef Filet Mignon, you will be pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of your selection. Finish off the perfect dining experience with a dessert or after dinner cocktail. Indulge yourself in Chocolate Decadence, Tiramisu, or South Florida Key Lime Pie. There's no guilt in this tropical paradise!
